Caribou Inuit Barren-ground Caribou hunters are bands of inland Inuit who lived west of Hudson Bay in northern Canada’s Keewatin Region of the Northwest Territories now the Kivalliq Region (Barren Lands) of present-day Nunavut between 61° and 65° N and 90° and 102° W. They were originally named Caribou Eskimo by the Danish Fifth Thule Expedition of 1921 – 1924 led by Knud Johan Victor Rasmussen. Caribou Inuit are the southernmost subgroup of the Central Inuit.
